Hungry as ever!

I have an exam tomorrow and have been studying so much it's make'n me HUNGRY at times when I shouldn't be hungry! When you're in a rush and don't want to whip up anything fancy and/or requires a stove, I tend to reach out for quick-to-do salads. Here is what I had today to save my grumbling stomach and re-energize my brain. 

A friend asked me what I had in it as it looked and smelled so yummy, so I thought I'd do a quick post for you all. 

Ingredients: 

• Corn
• Raisin
• Parsley
• Pine nuts
• Barley 
• Cracked wheat
• Sweet potato
• Chicken (leftovers from dinner)

Dressing: 

• Balsamic vinegar 
• Mustard seed
• Olive oil

How to make:

1. Cook barley and cracked wheat.
2. Cook sweet potato (steam/boil/roast whichever way you like) 
3. Toast pine nuts
4. Chop parsley and any other herbs you like 
5. Strip chicken into small bite size pieces
6. Make dressing by whipping all three ingredients together until combined
7. Toss it all together and voilà, you have a scrumptious healthy salad that is sure to please your taste buds and tummy!

Secret Garden Ball

Just last weekend I attended one of the most anticipated events of the month. For those who don't know I am study Veterinary Science (hence my love for animals) and annually our school glams up for a night of fun. In our studies and future career we tend to become friends with what mother nature has installed for us, so this night was an opportunity for us ladies to slip into our gowns/dresses and for the gents to suit up! I wore a simple black dress, which was backless with a gold sequin back drape, and completed my look with black heels and gold jewellery.

The night was held at the racecourse, where they served their simple yet fine dishes. After a few rounds of drinks, speeches and a belly full of food we were were all on the dance-floor (even the school's academics joined in and grooved along to the tunes!). Each year the party gets better and better (or maybe thats the alcohol working its magic on us all ;) and can't wait for next year's glitz and glamour!
